I posted in a similiar post about how all the 80's TV shows and movies showed the rich and decadent with massive saltwater tanks. Most were sharks or some other predator fish to show how "evil" the bad guy was but I just pictured how cool it would look to have a saltwater fish tank in your bedroom. The wife didn't let me put one in the bedroom but I am giving it another shot with a 90 gallon in the den.
It's funny how many people sound just like me. I was always envious of the people in the fish store who were buying coral and brightly colored fish while I was staring at the freshwater kind.
First time out I bought shop lights at Lowes to save money and all manner of other shortcuts. It's very nice to have a forum to answer questions. Most LFS will tell you that you can safely house a Grouper with a Peppermint shrimp. Between that and people trying to go "cheap" I imagine many people get frustrated and miss out on the hobby.
